About 25 villagers took six hours to calm down the camel which reportedly lifted Ujaram by his neck and threw him on the ground. It chewed his body and severed the head.

The animal had attacked Ujaram in the past as well, said the villagers.

The extremely high temperature in parts of Rajasthan have made the desert ships jittery. A few days ago, a camel tried to get rid of a jawan riding on its back while running for the shade. Armymen stationed at the border with Pakistan are facing a tough time taming the camels in the adverse weather conditions.
